Shrill exchanges between Centre and Tamil Nadu government over NEP and delimitation are unwarranted. CM Stalin’s political grandstanding a year ahead of elections aside, his apprehensions and concerns are not unfounded. Bellicose responses by union ministers will be counter-productive. Centre must address them with sensitivity and a spirit of accommodation.
India’s polling industry lacks credibility. EC must preserve sanctity of electoral process
ThePrint’s investigation exposes the opaque space in which most pollsters operate, with sketchy methodologies, sample sizes and funding. Political proximity and scant regulation leave their credibility in doubt. The Election Commission of India needs to bring in the much-needed transparency in the industry to maintain the sanctity of electoral processes.
Whether it is representation in Parliament, getting proportionate political power at the national level, or the simple question of which state contributes how much to central tax revenues and gets how much in return, the South has a legitimate grievance. The West, too, but since Maharashtra and especially Gujarat, are with the ruling party, the pushback will not be so strong. A test of statesmanship, already under stress due to imposition of Hindi. With our family’s mixed genes, can view this a little dispassionately.
Through media it has been already addressed mutually by both.
Tamil Nadu CM Stalin must be arrested and prosecuted. If possible, Stalin should be deported to Russia or Georgia – where he belongs.
A man named “Stalin” should ve ashamed of his name. Stalins and Hitlers have no place in India.
